Accommodations

The inn’s 39 guestrooms and private home offer a luxurious, intimate experience enhanced by Big Sur’s natural beauty. The organic architecture blends rustic elegance with luxury and comfort. Each room has a plush king-size bed with down pillows, a wood-burning fireplace, complimentary minibar, private deck with ocean or mountain views, a digital music system, coffee & tea set-up, and luxurious amenities. To maintain the peaceful environment, there are no televisions or alarm clocks in guestrooms. Select rooms offer a private deck and outdoor hot tub. Room rates include an extensive gourmet buffet breakfast in Sierra Mar. Arrangements may be made for a breakfast basket to be delivered to your guestroom.

One unique type of guestroom is a Tree House — and it is not your childhood tree house. This type captures the magic of childhood but goes well beyond with distinctive, upscale accommodations nine feet off the ground amid the trees. Here, you are part of an enchanting hideaway amid the forest, with spectacular views and serenity. Each room offers rustic modern décor with large windows, a King bed, a fireplace, a skylight to sleep under the stars, and a sundeck. Special touches include organic mattresses and linens, a stereo, complimentary snacks and non-alcoholic beverages, a robe and slippers, and even walking sticks and binoculars. It is a grown-up version of the best tree house ever.

Activities

Post Ranch Inn offers a multitude of engaging activities. Truly relax with rejuvenating spa treatments, savory gourmet fare, laps in the heated pool, time in the heated spa overlooking the sea, and morning yoga sessions. The inn offers plenty of outdoor adventures such as guided hikes or saunters, stargazing with the celestial telescope, and edible tours of the chef’s garden. Shop in The Mercantile, admire art at The Post Gallery, and enjoy the serenity of your beautiful surroundings in your unique suite.

When you want to explore, ask the inn about the use of its Lexus vehicles. Big Sur and the surrounding area offer many opportunities for enjoyment like beaches, parks, art galleries, whale watching, and more.
